Measuring plastic flows across their life cycle: UNCTAD data insights on plastics & non-plastic substitutes trade helped inform new guidelines by UNEP & UNITAR.
Reliable statistics are more essential than ever as the world prepares to advance #INC5 talks on a #PlasticsTreaty.
The third part of #INC5 to advance work on a #PlasticsTreaty takes place tomorrow in Geneva.
The one-day resumed session will focus on organizational matters, including the election of officers, and will be preceded by regional consultations: https://www.unep.org/inc-plastic-pollution/session-5.3
Plastic exports jumped from 218 million tons in 2005 to 323 million tons in 2023.
That’s about 16.2 million trucks (20 tons each) on the road to move 2023 exports alone. Let that sink in.

We find: 98.5% of MMPW still on land; 1.5% reached the MedSea; most MMPW from S-Europe, not Africa; land cleanup needed!

🔬 The science is clear: plastic production is the main driver of plastic pollution.
A vocal minority of countries refuse to accept any link, leaving next steps uncertain - though more negotiations are likely.
But no treaty is better than a weak treaty.

🌍🚫 #PlasticsTreaty talks collapsed at INC 5.2 in Geneva. Despite majority support, a small group blocked progress. In the words of Karuna Rana:
“No treaty is better than a weak treaty. The fight isn’t over — plastic pollution is a health, ocean & climate crisis.” 💪

#INC5 shows both strong will for progress and setbacks. The right answer now is to stand up and continue with constructive engagement towards a #GlobalPlasticsAgreement.

What a big, big opportunity and effort missed to stop plastic pollution. But we won't stop our efforts!

At #PlasticsTreaty talks, delegates were unable to find consensus on the Chair’s revised text proposal—and were thus unable to conclude a treaty at #INC5_2
INC Chair Luis Vayas adjourned the meeting to be resumed at a later date

#INC5 showed strong will for a Global Plastics Treaty.
Gaps remain – from small islands hit hardest by pollution to states tied to oil & plastics – but so does the determination to reach a global pact.
🇩🇪&🇪🇺keep working to secure a treaty that truly protects people &the planet.
